Oregon Zoo lion ‘tries to eat’ toddler

A scary video has emerged of a lion pawing the windowpane of its enclosure apparently to catch a toddler standing near by. The footage, shot at Oregon Zoo, USA in 2016, captures the moment the lion leaps at the young girl who is facing the other way. Visitors can be heard screaming with surprise as they witness the “attack”. According to the girl’s mother, zoo staff members told her her daughter’s outfit made her look like a piglet which might have triggered the lion’s behaviour.
